Its headline number is the 80 A rated continuous current (Iu) at 40 °C, which holds flat to 80 A up to 50 °C before derating to 72 A at 70 °C — so in a warm panel you lose about 10 % of the continuous rating. The breaking capacity tells the real story: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The overcurrent release is a TM240 thermal-magnetic type — no electronic adjustment, no communication function, no phase-failure detection. It is a straightforward line-protection breaker for fixed-current loads. The auxiliary contact version carries 2 HQ (high-capacity) switches, and the integrated auxiliary trip is order code 3VA9688-0BL30. A shunt trip (STL) is fitted as the auxiliary release design, with no undervoltage release. The voltage trigger is present, meaning remote tripping via the shunt coil is supported.
